Annotation

Car museum inspired by one of the most famous Czech brands, Škoda car company. Motivation is also fund in the fact that Prague does not have Škoda museum. By using the fact that Prague is one of the most visited cities in Europe, Czech brand Škoda can be promoted to the large number of the tourist all around the world. Design location is at Michle district. It is next to the highway, which is recognised as good opportunity for presenting the cars. This prediction is even more supported, if we know that, highway has a huge density of the people, in the traffic. Furthermore, urbanisation of the area brings green areas which will increase the quality of the life in the neighborhood areas. Area becomes communication promenade between blocks. Sloped plates in the building lead to space saving by becoming both communication system and exibition area. Interior organisation leads to high flexibility of the future development or change in the functional organisation. Facade acts as representation tool of the cars in the museum.
